What information do I need to identify an IoT SIM?

Each IoT SIM is uniquely identified by its **ICCID** (Integrated Circuit Card Identifier) -- a 19-20 digit number printed on the SIM card or available in your IoT Control Center dashboard. The ICCID is required for all device-specific operations like activation, suspension, and usage queries. You can list all your devices with `list_devices` to discover ICCIDs for your entire fleet.

How do data pools work and how can I prevent pool exhaustion?

Data pools are shared data plans across multiple IoT SIMs. Instead of each SIM having an individual cap, all devices in the pool draw from a common data bucket. Use `list_data_pools` to see your pools, `get_pool_usage` to check consumption and identify top-consuming devices, and set up alerts before reaching the limit. If a pool is near exhaustion, you can suspend low-priority devices with `suspend_device` or migrate high-usage devices to a different pool with `update_device_settings`.

Can I automatically diagnose why an IoT device went offline?

Yes. Use the `diagnose_connectivity` tool with the device's ICCID. It runs automated checks for network registration status, APN configuration, active data session, signal strength, and known network outages in the device's area. The tool returns detailed diagnostic results with recommended actions -- helping your field engineers resolve connectivity issues without manual portal navigation.

About AT&T IoT MCP Server

Connect your AT&T IoT account to any AI agent and take full command of your IoT SIM fleet through natural conversation.

Cursor's Agent mode turns AT&T IoT into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from AT&T IoT and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

What you can do

Device Inventory -- List all IoT SIMs with ICCIDs, statuses (active, suspended, deactivated), data plan names, and last activity dates
Real-Time Status -- Get live connectivity state, IP address, signal strength, data used/remaining, and suspension reasons for any SIM
Activate & Suspend -- Instantly activate suspended devices or suspend compromised SIMs to block network access and contain costs
Resume Devices -- Restore network access to suspended SIMs after troubleshooting or policy clearance without reprovisioning
Data Usage Tracking -- Retrieve current and historical usage per SIM with daily breakdowns, overage alerts, and cycle forecasts
Data Pool Management -- List shared data pools, monitor aggregate consumption, identify top-consuming devices, and prevent pool exhaustion
Device Configuration -- Update rate limits, APN settings, and pool assignments to optimize performance or migrate devices between plans
Automated Diagnostics -- Run connectivity troubleshooting checks including network registration, APN config, data session status, and known outages

The AT&T IoT MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

AT&T IoT + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating AT&T IoT MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
